At our park day, we took a hike and observed the park through the eyes of a scientist! Each student picked a card from a hat that shared points that their scientist would look for. We had a Geologist, Hydrologist, Soil Scientist, Ornithologist, Entomologist, Herpetologist, Botanist, Mammologist and even a scientist who surveyed the areas to decide if it would make a good spot for setting up camp for the night!
First, we discussed the objective of the day. Each scientist reviewed their role with the Urban Naturalist leader. We then walked as a group to various "sites" and assessed each one through the eyes of our scientist roles.
